Cosmos

The new COSMOS series of 2014 is presently making its way across TV screens around the world, hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson. I do however think it’s important that people also watch the 1980 original with Carl Sagan. Some of the science may be outdated (some of the episodes have addendums with science updates), but the spirit of the original series remains as relevant now as it was then, and the voice of Carl Sagan is captivating in ways that is difficult for anyone to match.
